What veggies are you giving her? She defiantly looks well cared for. I just wonder if not having access to grit has caused tummy issues an bloating. Since you say her tummy swells. Do you take her outside?

I'm giving her tomatoes (regular), onions and cucumbers (sometimes). And fruits she eat banana.
No she don't go outside because her one leg is broken. When she was 1 year old her leg was injured.
So i keep her with me all time, infact her cage is in my room.

I don't think onions are good for her if I remember right. @Miss Lydia?

What should i do if she is facing a bloating issue?
@DuckyDonna she eats onion rarely like 1 time in a week.

@DuckyDonna she eats onion rarely like 1 time in a week.

What i found after reading articles and than comparing it with her symptoms is that she again suffers from crop infection.
And in that treatment at home is to give her some antibiotic and drop olive oil and massaging her neck. Her gastrointestinal is infected by eating Noddles. And I think these Noddles is not digest properly.
For digestion I'm giving her now gripe water which available in my country ( a mint liquid for digestion) and with it I'm also giving her some minerals for overcome with the weaknesses.
But for feed what should i give her ? She is not eating grit, should i give her tomatoes in this infection?

@TwoCrows do you still recommend using olive oil to massage the crop?

@Dulzura you have to be so careful when putting anything down their throats making sure it doesn't go down the wrong hold in the back of their throats. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...dications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/

I have never supported the use of oil in the crop other than mineral oil for impactions. Oil has the tendancy to gum things up, so I try and avoid it.

I would stop with the daily tomatoes. Many of my birds were turning up with sour crops because I was feeding tomatoes every day, lots of diarrhea too. After I cut out the tomatoes, the birds health improved greatly. Tomatoes are quite acidic for the crop which should have a more neutral pH. Just my humble opinion along with observations of my flock.

Thank you, I see you used mineral oil instead of olive oil. @Dulzura can you buy mineral oil in your country?
